Intercellular communication is a fundamental aspect of cell biology, enabling cells to exchange messages with their ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are integral to the organisation and function of the nervous system, mediating cell–cell interactions that underpin the formation and maintenance of neural ...

Cells that form the surface of organs stick together tightly. To do so, they connect with their neighbors on all sides through a range of different but precisely arranged adhesion molecules.

Cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning in keratinocytes can be explained by just starvation and strong adhesion, Hokkaido University researchers find. Fingerprints are one of the best-recognised ...

Second, the emerging growth cones at the tip of these axons must encounter an environment that can support and guide them, with extracellular matrix proteins, cell-adhesion molecules and other ...
